The exhibition aims at presenting the achievements of one of the most interesting artists in the field of public-space art in Europe, as confirmed by the fact that his projects have won numerous competitions and have been realised in Germany, Norway and Poland. Thorsten Goldberg actively supports the development of this field of art and discussion about it. He sits on the board that evaluates projects intended for Berlin’s public spaces, and runs an Internet site called “Public Art Wiki”, which is a repository of German art of this kind. He also shares his experiences with others, working as an educator and teaching courses and workshops in art schools in Germany and Austria.

His art is an example of innovative activity in the field of public-space art, which, since the end of the 1950s, has evolved from so-called drop sculptures, i.e. abstract sculptures located in urban spaces, through site-specific projects rooted in the context of a particular location, and social-interest projects, to projects which examine the character of a given place. Goldberg’s art can serve as an inspiration for Polish artists and people working with public-space art, as the exhibition presents the conceptual and multi-faceted dimensions of his projects, as well as the creative process itself. The exhibition is being accompanied by an extensive catalogue presenting the artist’s works, and also containing contributions by the curator and art critics, who discuss Goldberg’s art. The publication is of scholarly, promotional, as well as educational value.
